My Freedom Rigs
2021 - Now
Mercedes Sprinter
Why do I choose this lifestyle?
Simple - Minimum energy consumption and footprint. Efficiency is the name of the game.
I use about 90 Ah (12v) approx of my battery every day which results in a total of about 32 kWh of solar energy per month.
When I am not traveling, I use less than 2 full tanks of diesel per month which results in a total energy conversion of 1600 kWh approx (40 gallons).
I use about 120 gallons of water in 30 days (not calculating showers).
This is my current Rig/Home:
Fullsize Bed
Shower/toilet
Office
Full Kitchen (Induction stove, Fridge, Blender, Toaster, Instant Pot)
60 gals fresh water/7 gallons hot water/20 gals grey tank
400w solar/300 AH battery/3000W inverter
Garage
2017-2021 Ford F150
This was the first rig that I used to travel all over the West Coast of the US.
It had a simple single bed at the back, a small pull-out kitchen, and a fridge.
